When picking the right pair, deciding on the shoe’s fabric and color is as important as choosing the shoe’s style. Bridal shoes must go with the bride’s overall look.

 

The recently held Face-Off bridal fashion show staged by Inquirer Lifestyle and Look Magazine showed which shoe styles best complemented the creations of 38 of the country’s top designers.

Spanish brand Menbur, which has been creating shoes for more than 40 years, offers bridal footwear made of delicate textiles such as lace and satin, which are common wedding gown fabrics.

 

For staple bridal shoe colors such as nude, ecru and pastels, Schutz, which means “protection” in German, features sky-high pumps usually made of luxurious suede or leather.

As Adora seeks to cater to every woman’s fashion essentials, Schutz’s understated designs can be worn on different occasions, from formal evenings to casual weekends, with just a tweak in styling.
